Colts sign 8 players to futures contracts

The Indianapolis Colts signed eight players to reserve/futures contracts, the team announced Monday afternoon.

This was a move to be expected. Every team will be signing young players (typically practice squad players) to these futures contracts, which are basically one-year deals to keep said players on the roster and out of the reach of other teams.

The eight signed Monday include:

TE Mo Alie-Cox

WR Dres Anderson

DT Johnathan Calvin,

WR Kolby Listenbee,

OLB Arthur Miley,

OLB Josh Perry,

QB Phillip Walker

OL Isaiah Williams.

All eight players spent time on the Colts practice squad throughout the regular season.

This is basically the Colts locking up players from their practice squad that could have a chance to battle for a roster spot throughout the offseason and training camp.
